HR professionals often ask us,
“How would I know if someone is facing a Benefits Cliff? We don’t have access to that kind of information about them and it’s inappropriate to ask.”
We also hear from HR folks that they don't hear that Benefits Cliffs are the reason employees are quitting, but they acknowledge that they wouldn’t know if it was, since it’s not the kind of question that comes up in an exit interview. But we know from talking to employees, that they often don’t share that they are struggling with the loss or reduction of Public Benefits for a few reasons. They could be embarrassed, think they will get in trouble, or simply just not know how to talk about what's happening to them. Most people who experience Benefits Cliff don't know that there's a name for it.
So we’ve put together a list of signs that are pretty good indicators that your workforce may be experiencing Benefits Cliffs.
